I recently connected to a VPN while in Russia, but after disconnecting and returning to my usual location, I've noticed some strange issues on TikTok. My liked videos seem to be hidden; they're probably still liked because if I access a video through my history or comments, it shows as unavailable. Additionally, my searches yield no results, no matter what I enter. Has anyone else experienced this after using a VPN? Is there a way to resolve it?

You might want to consider redownloading the app. Russia has some strict regulations on TikTok, which can lead to your content being hidden or limited. If you start getting only old content, that's probably because they screen what can be shown outside the country. I experienced something similar when I traveled there.
You've connected to a country that heavily censors its internet, so it’s not too surprising you’re facing these issues. You may need to find a way to reset your account's region settings to fix everything.
Have you tried logging out of your TikTok account and logging back in? Sometimes a simple logout can help refresh your settings and resolve issues like this.
